1. The plaintiff viz., P.Kannammal (deceased) and her legal representatives are the appellants herein.

2. The Second Appeal has been filed against the judgment passed in A.S.No.49 of 2010, by the learned Judge, Principal Sub Court, Tiruvannamalai, Tiruvannamalai District, dated 16.03.2012, wherein, the learned Judge has confirmed the judgment made in O.S.No.936 of 1995, by the Principal District Munsif, Tiruvannamalai, Tiruvannamalai District, dated 27.07.2010.

3. Brief facts of the case:

    (a). The deceased plaintiff has filed a suit in O.S.No.936 of 1995, before the Principal District Munsif, Tiruvannamalai, Tiruvannamalai District, for declaration of her title, injunction and recovery of possession of “B” Schedule property. The plaint proceeds on the basis that in the partition suit in O.S.No.1223 of 1970, the first plaintiff was allotted a share in Survey No. 48/9 to an extent of 1/3rd share from the total extent of 1.66 acres but the respondent/defendant had purchased 2½ cents of land from Pachiammal and Muniammal and both the vendors of the defendant are the sisters of the first plaintiff viz., Kannammal.

(b). It is alleged that the respondent/defendant had tress passed into the suit property and the same is the subject matter in O.S.No.936 of 1995 and the learned Judge, by an order dated 27.07.2010, has dismissed the said suit. Aggrieved over the same, the plaintiff has preferred an appeal suit in A.S.No.49 of 2010 before the Principal Sub Court, Tiruvannamalai, Tiruvannamalai District and by an order dated 16.03.2012, the learned Judge has dismissed the said appeal and confirmed the judgment passed in the suit in O.S.No.936 of 1995. Hence, the Second Appeal.

4. This second appeal is not admitted.

5. Heard both the learned counsels and perused the materials placed on record. The learned counsel for the respondent entered appearance.

6. After hearing both the parties, it appears that “A” Schedule property is comprising of 5 cents in Survey No.48/9C2 and out of this 2 ½ cents bounded by East of “B” Schedule property, is the subject matter for permanent injunction in respect of “B” Schedule property in Survey No. 48/9C2. The plaintiff wants recovery of possession of 2 ½ cents with specific boundaries.

7. Mr.K.A.Ravindran, learned counsel for the appellant would contend that the appellant has derived title to the suit property under the partition suit in Exs.A2 to A4 and further he would contend that both the Courts below have not property appreciated the Commissioner’s Report and mutation effected in the revenue records. According to the learned counsel for the appellant, the commissioner’s report and mutation of revenue records proves the title of the appellant and both the Courts below have erred in not applying the same.

8. It appears that the suit was initially filed with different description of the suit property and as revealed from the Lower Appellate Court records, there was an amendment to the schedule of the property namely the description of the property was totally changed by the appellant. The main contention of the appellant is rest upon the entry in the revenue records and not on the basis of title. No doubt it is true that the appellant name is registered in UDR. The respondent in order to prove the title and possession to the suit property, has marked Ex.B3/Sale Deed, boundaries of the property covered under Ex.B3 belongs to the appellant. The case of the appellants/plaintiffs is solely rest upon Ex.A1/final decree proceedings in O.S.No.1223 of 1970, Ex.A2/handing over the possession receipt, Ex.A3/Rough Sketch and Ex.A4
